The page I found reports ship locations every 6 hours...at least for the Jingu Maru. It has entries from 00hrs, 6hrs, 12hrs, and 18hrs. If we could only find a map to plot it. Any suggestions?

I have this thing all figured out. I will post a map for the Jingu Maru later today or tonight.

I posted a script a few pages ago that has the coordinates for Oxford, Southhampton NY Galveston, Panama canal and Port heuneume.

You can enter the coordinates at the USGS map site and get a plot.

It's all straight from the ultimate boat tracking guide.

Ryephile

She's ALIVE! Status 155 today. Last seven of my VIN#: TD66528. It seemed like every time I called, the status was behind where I figured it should be. I reluctantly called today, fearing I'd hear it was still stuck at 151. Lo and behold, she done gone and got some gitty-up in her step. I hope that's a good sign! Anyway, thought I'd let you know that she's at 155. Hopefully she will get on the 3/11 boat????????

Ok, just checked and still at a 150, but the Production Date was bumped up from 3/28 to 3/14, which makes sense. Now assuming 'Grover' is done by then, I hope to make it on Carmen departing 3/14 or Fidelo departing 3/16. 'Grover' is coming home to Chicago, so where should I expect a mid-west bound Mini to touch shore? Carmen stops in NYC and Charleston, while Fidelo stops in Baltimore and Charleston. I'm sure glad that I'm not the only obsessive/compulsive out there waiting for there new toy.

Here is the Jingu Maru. The red dot in the Atlantic Ocean. The extra points in Texas, Mexico Panama, and finally Port heuneme are there to make a bigger map, and to show where the Medea is headed next week.

Dangit! Asodestrom beat me too it! And I wanted to be the official cartographer!!!! Guess I should know better than to actually go to class instead of being here all day.

Here's some general info for y'all:
Call Signs
Madea--9VHL
Carmen--SGUC
Titus--SGAK
Tosca--S6AN
Aida--SCFI
Libra Leader--3F228
Jingu Maru--JPPT
Undine--unkown

to find your ships location: http://www.ems.psu.edu/wx/findbuoy.html
(upper case sensitive)
to plot a map:http://stellwagen.er.usgs.gov/mapit/

Now we can all be cartographers. If only the other ships would start reporting their plots as well.

Your MINI sounds way cool! Can't wait to see it on our website. Too bad we are not showing interiors. And too bad there are not as many interior color options on the MCS!
